Comments Thread For: Wilder Will Add Weight For Fury Rematch; Targets 245 Pounds

[whatismyname]

Lololololol..... 5 lbs on each ankle, 8lbs on each hamstring and you just might have a world beater. Oh 5lbs on the rump because he has been light in the arse recently

Lol that sounded gay as hell

Now I’m not saying he won, but even if wilder believes he did it was still a hard difficult fight. Making adjustments wouldn’t hurt.

He has wayy too many excuses for someone who thought he won

The weight isn't the problem. It's the footwork and lack of an arsenal of punches

[Raggamuffin]

He’s going to be about 230 and he’s coming in for the kill. That means that he will be slower and more flat footed...unless he uses Shilstone lol.

At least come in mid to high 220's. Add some versatility to his punch game and a ton of foot work, would do wonders for the man's longevity and career. Just my humble 2 cents.

He was 235 pounds in training camp for Molina and weighed 229 for the fight, he bulked up but the reason he stopped lifting weights was because of the bicep tear

Deontay also stopped eating a lot for some reason, a guy his size needs lots of food to keep size, for the molina fight he said he was eating steak and potatos and protien shakes.

If i were him id focus on legs only do calf raises and squats get that base thick, it will amplify his already scary power. So he will be more planted when he throws and can focus on straight shots.

He should only be as high as 225-230 pounds if he goes higher than that it could hurt him more and his punches could be tight making it hardee for him to generate fluidity and power on his haymakers windmills.

If he comes in 245 he will lose. I promise you.

I agree. The only positive I see to added weight is that it gives him the strength to not be pushed around as easily. He will not punch harder and he will lose some mobility, quickness and probably stamina.

Size was a factor in Fury’s game plan. He was able to lean, clinch, and push Wilder around the ring.

A major factor of the match.

But now way Wilder can go up to 245 and be fit in a short amount of time.
I can see him adding 15 to 20 lbs of lean muscle in a year.
Anything more would honestly be su****ious for PEDs.
Nobody can gain 45 lbs of muscle without help.

He better hire somebody that knows what he is doing as a strength and conditioning coach.

Deontay def could benefit from some extra mass in there. Having Fury leaning all over him made him tired. Plus he will absorb shots better and his power will be even better. My guess he could easily be 230-235 and suffer no loss in mobility or stamina.

If Wilder loses his speed and explosiveness, he's an average heavyweight. I say he's good up to maybe 230 lbs but north of that, it will be hard to maintain the surprise in his punches and he'll never beat Fury.

Wilder needs the extra weight.....

230 is a good weight for Wilder. No need to come in that small because by end of fight he'll be 220 from sweating. I would of thought his trainer, would have focused on adding more weight some time ago. He's already in great cardio condition.
